The Madison Corps Project (MCP) is the first of its kind. We intend to include all Madison-based drum corps organizations: current members of the Madison Scouts and alumni from the Madison Scouts & Junior Scouts, Capitolaires & Petites, Capital Sound, South Wind (under MDBCA), and State Street Review.
This project proposal is for group participation at the 2027 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, from Sunday, December 27th, 2026, through Friday, January 1st, 2027.
Facts:
- Everyone participating would be responsible for their transportation to California and back home.
- While in California, housing, rehearsal facilities, transportation to all necessary locations, and most of your meals would be provided.
- Your cost will be determined soon, but we want to emphasize that due to the location and parade requirements, it would not be as affordable as past MSARP projects.
- Rehearsals would begin on December 27, 2026, in Pasadena. All music and guard work would be available well in advance.
- Information about our uniform, equipment, music, design, staff, and other performance-related areas will be announced after we review our initial survey results and determine that sufficient demand warrants us to continue moving forward.
- We will be using B-flat horns and investigating lighter-weight percussion equipment options.
- This long (5.5-mile) parade is televised, so the officials keep the pace moving. Therefore, all participants must be in excellent health.
The registration process is now open. It includes making a refundable $100 participation deposit, which you can pay by check or PayPal (Credit Card).
STAY CONNECTED: Corpsdata has listings for alumni and staff for Capitolaires (incl Petites), Madison Scouts (Incl Jr/Boy Scouts), Capital Sound, State Street Review, SouthWind, and 32nd Hussar.
